Thanks to the generous support of The Daniel Baird Foundation, we are proud to offer bleed control kits that can make a crucial difference in emergencies. A bleed control kit is a compact and portable package of medical supplies specifically designed to effectively manage severe bleeding incidents.
Each kit includes the following items:
-
1 x Prometheus Trauma Dressing: This specialised dressing is carefully crafted to control moderate bleeding by providing effective pressure and coverage to the wound.
-
1 x ChitoGauze® XR Pro: Included in the kit is a hemostatic gauze dressing known for its exceptional effectiveness in managing bleeding ranging from moderate to very severe. It contains chitosan, a compound renowned for promoting blood clotting.
-
1 x Russell Chest Seal®: This innovative dressing is specifically designed for emergency management of penetrating chest wounds, creating an airtight seal to prevent further complications.
-
1 x SOF® Tactical Tourniquet Wide: The kit features the latest evolution of the SOFTT-W tourniquet, a cutting-edge device that allows for rapid and effective application, effectively restricting blood flow to the injured limb.
-
2 x Nitrile Gloves: Personal protection is of utmost importance, which is why the kit includes two nitrile gloves. These gloves not only maintain hygiene but also minimise the risk of transmitting blood-borne pathogens.
-
1 x Scissors: Medical-grade scissors are provided to facilitate quick and safe removal of clothing or cutting through bandages, enabling prompt access and treatment of wounds.
These meticulously selected items ensure the immediate implementation of bleeding control measures during emergency situations. The compact and portable nature of the bleed control kit enables rapid deployment in various settings. By including these essential supplies, we significantly increase the chances of effectively managing severe bleeding until professional medical assistance arrives.
